Caddis had offered deals to all players, except loan players and DJ Sturridge, Kieran Glynn, Declan McGlynn and Mark Derricott. However, in a lengthy update on the official website, Caddis said he is now moving on from those offers.
With no news of any player re-signing, Caddis said he did want to keep as many as the squad as possible - but he would never stand in any players' way, including those who have had better offers financially, been offered EFL trials or the lure of full-time football.
"Rest assured it’s not the ideal scenario I wanted to find myself in, but we understand the players have families and/or opportunities that we simply can’t match nor offer at this given time. I wish all the players who have moved on the very best in their footballing journey," the update said.
"We have a job to get on with now with a rebuild of the football playing squad and as of today we will start to make moves for players. I wanted to give the current squad some time to have a think about the offer and opportunities presented to them, as they have my full respect and deserve the time to make a decisions, but we now agree that time has been of a generous length and work has to go on.
"Everyone is ambitious and I won’t discredit anyone for trying to better themselves."
He added: "Everyone has their reasons and I respect them, but as the players now know the most important factor in all this is Hereford FC and we will crack on with our work now.
"I know it’s not the news you wanted to hear, but as always I won’t just tell you what you want to hear. I can only be true to myself and give you the truth. You deserve that and as long as I am the manager of the club that’s exactly what you’ll get from me whether some like it or not.
"It is never an excuse it’s always simply the reality."
